Do I have an assigned seat when I book my trip online?

When you book your reservation online, you will be asked to select a preference, window or aisle. When the booking is completed, our system will automatically find you the seat (by preference) closest to the front of the plane.

If you would like to change your seat to a specific one, you may do so by contacting us. We have direct links to the airlines inventory and can usually change your seat assignment instantly. You can email us help@cheapair.com or call and speak with a Travel Specialist at 1-800-CHEAP-AIR (1-800-243-2724).

If you were not assigned a seat, this means either the airline is not permitting pre-assigned seating at this time or they may only assign seating at Check In. Please note, once you have paid for your ticket, you do have a confirmed seat regardless of whether or not you have a pre-assigned seat number.

Finally, if you find yourself seated next to a screaming baby, there is not much we at CheapAir can do to help you. However all is not lost! It is not uncommon for there to be unsold seats on a flight so you can always ask a flight attendant if there is anywhere else you can be seated. Make sure to smile and hint there may be a bag of peanuts in it for them and you are sure to get rock star treatment.
